A terrific photo showing how poorly we allocate space in our public realm. Trashing the planet in a single occupant vehicle? Cool, we'll give you all the space. On foot or a bike burning calories instead of oil, we may give you a strip of paint or squish you in a small sidewalk.

I counted at least 5 streetlights in the above picture. Also, that sidewalk is actually pretty wide. Bad camera angle and looks like an unusually large group of bunched up people. 300 Colorado has got to be close to topping out.
One photo can be misleading. There're more people there than usual on the sidewalk because of the Bernie rally. Most of those planet saving pedestrians are going to or coming from their PARKED CARS. Also, some traffic was avoiding the S. 1st St Bridge due to the crowds and Riverside closure on the south end of the bridge.
Ha. That's the second corvairkeith photo taken over the past two years that I happen to be in. Although I'm an unrecognizable pixel on a balcony in this photo.

That's funny. I was supposed to meet up once for an impromptu forum meet at the Austonian one year. I got there late, and one of the guys snapped a photo looking down on 2nd Street of us driving by. I was also out one year taking photos during SXSW, and walked right past corvairkeith and took his photo!
